RT2416B7TR13

Resistors are electronic components used in many applications such as powering electrical circuits, dampening signals, and providing resistance to current flow. Resistor networks, also known as arraigned networks a form of circuit consisting horizontally or vertically aligned resistors connected together with each other in a specific pattern or arrangement. This type of network is commonly used to adjust voltage, provide electrical isolation, and protect other electronic components from over-current. RT2416B7TR13 is a type of resistor network specifically, a 4 resistor network used to regulate the current of a circuit.

Application Field

RT2416B7TR13, a four resistor network, provides a single output for an electrical circuit. This type of network is mainly used in controlling the current of motors with low current requirements. Something important to point out is the RT2416B7TR13 uses a thin-film technology to precisely match the electrical resistance of the resistors for accurate current regulation. This feature enable the resistor network to function in motors, actuators, relay actuators power converters, and audio devices among many others.

Working Principle

RT2416B7TR13 operates on a "core paired" resistor technology which uses two different resistors in a single package. One of the resistors is the "fixed paired resistor"(FPR) which remains the same rating over the entire temperature range and the other is the "variable paired resistor"(VPR) whose rating changes based on the device\'s temperature. The FPR is used as the reference for the current, while the VPR adjusts the current based on the temperature. As the temperature changes so does the FPR adjusting the current to maintain a steady level. This feature helps the RT2416B7TR13 maintain the current of the motor to protect it from unexpected surges or shutdowns.

In conclusion, the RT2416B7TR13 is a type of resistor network used to regulate the current of a circuit based on the temperature of the part. It is mainly used in controlling the current of motors with low current requirements but also can be used in other applications such as audio devices, actuators, or power converters. The RT2416B7TR13 operates on a "core paired" resistor technology using a "fixed paired resistor"(FPR) and "variable paired resistor"(VPR) to regulate the current to maintain a steady level.
